Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By LawMan5643 Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:48 pm
Does anyone know how to convert standard .wav files to load on to an MPC2000XL? I have tried over 50 cd's & nothing seems to work, I've tried to use the sound converter software, audacity, write2disk, nearly everything & yet nothing seems to work.

^ exactly

or your option B would be to use the sampler as a sampler and sample with it cause that is what samplers are designed to do... go to the sample screen (push shift+4) and connect the audio outputs from your cd player or computer to the sample inputs of your mpc 2000 xl sampler...


7 hidden hints in that one for ya

over and then bam, you said it, 7.

Thanks, but doing that would take forever! Eventually someone will be able to assist me. Thanks for sharing.

You converted to 44khz/16 bit, pcm wav.

When you do the conversion right before you hit save as, there should be info or something right there that shows exactly what type of wave, always choose pcm.

oh sorry.. you're right... how's this then:

get FL Studio.. it reads every file type so you wont need to convert anything.. you wont need to use a second machine to make music and you wont need to record your songs from your mpc back into the computer after you're done. click click click and it's a wrap.. you got the next hot LIL B rap beat...

also, use youtube and music blogs to download hot samples because that is way faster then digging through an entire record store for gem vinyl to sample from.. and most importantly.. save a pile of time by going here for all the best drums instead of wasting your time like we all have trying to find them.. take it from us cause we been there getting sick off black mold we dusted off old forgotten record covers just to get a snare sound.. now peeps put all that hours of work into one download

I e-dig (whatever purists -generally speaking-, hate the term all you want) all the time. I have no records since 1990. :oops: :lol:
